Testimonials
{Introduction:}
I'm very grateful that the relationships I have developed with my clients are good ones that work to our mutual benefit. This is true both for my local clients and those I work with from a distance. During the second half of 2008 I was in Australia with my family, so I worked with everyone was from a distance indeed! The praises I have received are often overwhelming to me, and I thank every one for their support and encouragement. Because each individual has become so special to me, I'd like to introduce them with a few details about the circumstances of our work together.

Mae was referred to me by a mutual friend earlier this year, and we began working on her site in April. A professional artist who began formal training at the age of ten, her long and productive career has resulted in an incredible portfolio of paintings, and her website documents her exploration of many genres, techniques and mediums. Essentially complete, maewygant.com features a gallery of 50+ paintings, over half of which I had the privilege of photographing myself. We do have 10 paintings to add, but from the beginning our working relationship has been a start-and-stop affair due to her busy life and travel schedule. She spent over 30 years in Northern California and while there she painted, exhibited and taught, as well as raising two daughters and founding a non-profit organization, LITA. Though she stepped down as director of LITA some time ago, she is still deeply involved as a consultant, and volunteers 2 days a week at a local charity which provides meals to shut-ins in our community. Though brief, I hope this gives you an idea of the depth of the woman I've had the honor of serving for the past 6 months. Recently I mentioned that I would be adding a testimonial page to my own website and asked her if she would like to contribute one of her own. These are her kind words:
It was a pleasure working with you as you brought me into the 21st century with your design and construction of my website. Thank you for being so conscientious and dedicated as you refined every detail. Your artistic talents and computer skills combined to create a site that pleases me greatly and receives many favorable comments. Thank you!
-Mae Wygant
May I add one of the "many favorable comments" she forwarded to me...
Beautiful website! Hannah is a genius and your website is testament to what
she can help artists achieve through the world of the internet!

Thanks so much for all the love and care you put into my website... It has been such a joy working with you. You have a real gift in the way you make the process a collaborative one...
That's what Janet said when we had first completed her site. Now that we've been working together for 3 years, she's sent me an updated comment on my work:
Hannah West has been my web designer for the past three years. The quality I appreciate the most in Hannah is her personal integrity. She is dependable, communicates clearly about fees, looks for ways to cut down on fees, and gets things done in a timely manner. It is such a relief as a business owner to know I can depend on her. She is also creative, a good communicator, and very supportive of my business. I have heard "web designer" horror stories and am happy to report that my working relationship with Hannah has only been a very positive experience. The best part of my testimonial is that I take love the web design that Hannah has created on my website and have received a lot of positive feedback from my viewers.

{Butterfly Jewelry & Treasures:}
I completed Butterfly's website at the beginning of May 2008, and this is what owner Héloïse Gerteiny had to say in her newsletter announcement:
As some of you may already know, Butterfly now has a beautiful website. Here's the link: www.butterflyjewelryandtreasures.com. Turn on your sound and enjoy the music, too. Website designer Hannah West did a fabulous job. Thank you, Hannah!
Last summer she asked me to set up an online boutique for her, and upon its completion I got this wonderful compliment:
Thank you again for all the work you did to get my online store up and running. The boutique is absolutely beautiful. You have great artistic sense and sensitivity, and you developed just the right mood and touch for the shop from the start. I've been recommending you to people who ask about my site, so I hope it will blossom into more business for you. You're amazing!

It has been a pleasure to work with you on the website you made for me! Your expertise, generosity with information, and flexibility have made what I thought would be a stressful ordeal a pleasant and "cool" adventure! I highly recommend you! Thank you, Hannah, you are a real artist!

You know, Hannah, it’s so enjoyable to have the opportunity of setting up our websites and their accompaniments with the help of someone like you, so knowledgeable and happy to share ideas. You really make it easy to understand and I feel ok asking you all sorts of weird and wonderful questions. Often one pays for a service and at the end of it all is really frustrated, annoyed, despondent and disappointed as well as totally dissatisfied. None of this here. It’s nice to call you a friend.
